Chubb and Tiny the Winners Friday
Exciting Contests.

breeze blowing from off the lake Fri
day afternoon, yet the crowd were held
to the very close of the contests on the
track. The same judges who have served
in the preceding days sports were pres
eut. 1t is the unanimous opinion of all
present that never in the history of the
two societies have the decisions of the
judges been so uniformly correct, and
never before have the horses received bet
ter send-offs. The open race was the
finest contest in this class ever seen on
the park. The four horses We're very
evenly matched and he race belonged to
neither one till it was finished.
In the 2:45 race there was a large field Of
horses ready for the word when the time
for the afternoons sports came, Tiny
drew the pole and kept in the lead the
whole course, Nellie f. showed some mag
nifcent bursts of speed, but was unsteady,
Blanche b. tried hard for first but was
soon behind Fannie H., the latter coming
down the last stretch close to the winner
Time, 30, LII, 1:51, 1888.
In the second heat Tiny was well back
when the word was given, and Blanche
took the pole and set the pace for the first
half, closely pushed by Tiny on the half
mile,stretch the latter pulled out and took
the pole near the turn, leading for the re-
mainder of the heat. Fannie soon passed
Blanche and tried hard for first, but could
not get there" Time, 80, lis, 1:51, 2:3G

heat and the others stringing out on the
